Fitzi, you are twenty seven... I've still got him ranked running back thirty this week... Remandre one spot higher... FITZI, you've got him at thirty three... fits you've got him at thirty five”
- 2Tyrone Tracy Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart“Tyrone Tracy is returning kickoffs for the Giants, which strikes me as kind of a tell that the Giants see him as the number two.”
- 3Cam Skattebo to be 1st on the depth chart“do you think Cam Skataboo aka Scam is the back over Tyrone Tracy starting in Week three? I do, and I think the hostile takeover of the Giants backfield began last week.”

How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive3 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
All 3 have settled, averaging 76.1 out of 100, against 80.6 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
